LA punk rock pioneers Bad Religion will mark their 30th anniversary with a celebration tour.
The six-piece — Brett Gurewitz, Jay Bentley, Greg Graffin, Greg Hetson, Brian Baker and Brooks Wackerman — are offering fans the chance to download an exclusive album as a thank-you for their support over the years.
“30 Years Live” was recorded during the band’s 2010 US tour and is available for free at www.badreligion.com for a limited time only.
The celebrations continue as Bad Religion prepare to record their 15th studio album which is expected for release this autumn.
The band formed in 1980 and quickly became synonymous with provocative punk rock. Today, they are considered one of the most influential bands in the genre.
Greg said: “I’m mostly uplifted by the fact that a vibrant and evolving punk scene still inspires young people all over the world.”
Catch them live at Manchester Academy 2 tonight.
